I've purchased this game in Alpha - it was great, but it felt kind of unbalanced and was really hard (or I really sucked, which is of course always an option ;)). So for all of you people who have the same concerns I did: the game feels way more balanced (in normal/classic mode) now than in Alpha. The fights are (sometimes) challenging, but I never feel like "omg, who should I survice this?!" with intense preperaton before each fight (like casting rain etc. on your potential enemies, so that you can stunlock-shock them). All in all this is one of the best RPGs out there in the moment, as far as I can tell after the first hours of playing the "final" version.
